The group also described Obi as one who understands banking and finance and abhors an ostentatious lifestyle which has led many Nigerian leaders to greed, embezzlement of public funds and all forms of corrupt practices.

The statement reads:

While his main opponents are busy accusing each other of corruption in and out of public service, Obi’s only fault is that he did not steal Anambra State funds, but saved N75 billion for the succeeding administration.
